Salaams,
I am looking for a west indian/caribbean restaurant that serves halal food in the area of Scarborough, for a Eid ul Fitr and birthday party next year.
Preferable buffet style for lunch. A clean, decent and classy restaurant please, not a cheap place. I appreciate your suggestions. Also they must accept American Express Credit Card.
Thank you,
Fazeela!

Hi There
This may be a far stretch but I was wondering if you had information on the best food joints both upscale and street food in New York. Im leaving for a 4 day trip there at the end of November and would like to hit up all the best halal joints possible near Manhattan. Were staying right in times square so if you could narrow down the top 10 places which are halal certified that would be greatly appreciated!!!! Jazaks!

Hello,
I am looking for halal burgers at a good price. I plan many community BBQs and the halal option we have is those green wrapped hot dogs from Metro. It would be great to have burgers too, but they are just so costly. Can anyone suggest a good place to buy halal burgers at a reasonable price? Thank you. I am in Ottawa.

My wife and i have been going to Sahebi Kabob when we are at the Markham and Steeles area and they remain the best place for afghan fare. The place might not look ritzy, but the food has always been great. The best items are the beef tikka kebob, chicken kofta and the spicy red tomato sauce to dip your naan. There has yet to be place that can compare to their quality and value. The use sargent farms meats for those inquiring about the source of the meat. Since, there is no review for them, I think it would be great if they were featured. Although, they may get overwhelmed with the additional traffic. It’s been a nice and quiet place.

I am having no luck finding halal unflavoured gelatin in Brampton/Mississauga. The stores I have spoken to don’t even know what it is! Does anyone know if there local stores sells it? please help share which stores/locations carry it. TIA

AOA, awhile back I discovered and picked up your magazine from a grocery store in Markham and was really impressed and proud that such a great magazine was created by Muslims:) I wanted to know if it is possible to have the magazine mailed to my house? Please let me know if this is possible by email 🙂 thanks

Thank you for taking the time to write to us! I am so pleased you like the magazine. Since it’s a free publication, we unfortunately do not deliver. In the future we hope to have a subscription set up inshaAllah.

Please make sure to check out a new fast food place that serves amazing food called Watan Pizza. Don’t let the name fool you, the menu is crazy. Newly opened in Thorncliffe Park, in front of the Popeyes. Amazing prices and great people. Please try their food it’s too good.

Why is it that you can’t simply find a phone number on web sites today? a phone call is so much faster.
We’re in the Toronto area.
Where are you located? is this business in Toronto?
I am in need of Black Seed Oil whole sale please.

Thank you kindly.

I would like to know the process you apply, when confirming that the meat served in the restaurant is slaughtered per Islamic Shariah?

I’ve noticed that your team does not have anyone who is experienced in the laws of Islamic principles of slaughtering or who has expertise in the field of Islamic jurisprudence, are relying on the verbal statement from these proprietors that the meat they purchase and serve is halal?
I look forward to your response.

You are correct – we are not scholars and we don’t claim to offer certification of any kind. We ask restaurants for their sources and publish our findings online where it is an open forum. It’s up to the restaurant to provide accurate and true info and it’s up to consumers to verify and confirm our findings.

Salam,
I am hoping you can do a review of a new cafe that opened up at Brimley and Sheppard in the Scarborough Area. It’s called Cafe Black Gold and the the espresso and sandwiches are great. I’ve only had the chai latte and the roasted red pepper soup but I will be going back to try more!
